But first, with mid-term election results in for the US, Michigan voted to legalize the recreational use of cannabis, while Utah and Missouri legalized it for medical use. A recreational measure in North Dakota failed, though medical cannabis remains legal there. They join 31 other states that have already gone the medical route, and nine others that have gone fully recreational.

Also in the news, it appears Mexico's next interior minister plans to submit a bill to create a medical marijuana industry and allow recreational use. Senator Olga Sanchez, Mexican President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's choice for interior minister, told Reuters that the bill would be presented this week in Congress.

If the bill passes, Mexico would join Canada, Uruguay and a host of U.S. states that permit recreational use of the drug and allow its commercialization and it would also be one of the most populous countries to roll back prohibition.

AssetCo has ceased all operations and is currently in the process of converting the locations from municipally licensed medical cannabis retail stores, into Provincially licensed private non-medical cannabis retail stores.

The Acquisition is subject to, the completion of due diligence by GTEC, the successful assignment of municipal development permits for a cannabis retail store at each of the two locations and the receipt of non-medical cannabis retail store licenses from the British Columbia Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch.

Under the terms of the First Agreement, all the business assets of the AssetCo will be purchased by GreenTec Retail Ventures Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of GTEC, for a total purchase price of CAD $5.5 million.

Additionally, GTEC has entered into a binding letter agreement with a society created pursuant to the laws of British Columbia to purchase all the assets of SocietyCo, which consist primarily of one medical cannabis dispensary, and a medical cannabis consulting clinic, both of which are located in Vancouver, BC. SocietyCo has ceased all operations and is currently in the process of converting the location from a municipally licensed medical cannabis retail store into a Provincially licensed private non-medical cannabis retail store.

"As GTEC evolves into a revenue generating company, the addition of these locations will complement our initiative to achieve market share, brand awareness and consumer loyalty within the premium segment of the market," said Norton Singhavon, Chairman & CEO of GTEC. "Upon successful Provincial licensing and completion of these acquisitions, this will place our retail footprint across all three Western Provinces- BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan, with an estimated 12 locations operational in 2018 and 30+ locations to be operational in Q1 of 2019."
